ALLIANCE 030 Series Installation Manual page 41

For maximum efficiency and minimum lint accumulation, tumble
dryer air must be exhausted to the outdoors by the shortest possi-
ble route.
Proper sized exhaust ducts are essential for proper operation. All
elbows should be sweep type. Exhaust ducts must be assembled
so the interior surfaces are smooth, so the joints do not permit the
accumulation of lint. DO NOT use plastic, thin foil or Type B
flexible ducts - rigid metal ducts are recommended. Use exhaust
ducts made of sheet metal or other noncombustible material. DO
NOT use sheet metal screws or fasteners on exhaust pipe joints
which extend into the duct and catch lint. Use of duct tape or
pop-rivets on all seams and joints is recommended, if allowed by
local codes.
Verify that old ducts are thoroughly cleaned out before installing
new tumble dryer(s).
Improperly sized or assembled ductwork causes ex-
cess back pressure which results in slow drying, lint
collecting in the duct, lint blowing back into the
room, and increased fire hazard.
NOTE: Exhaust ducts must be constructed of sheet
metal or other noncombustible material. Such ducts
must be equivalent in strength and corrosion resist-
ance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel not less
than 0.02 inches [0.50 mm] thick.
Where the exhaust duct pierces a combustible wall or ceiling, the
opening must be sized per local codes. The space around the duct
may be sealed with noncombustible material. Refer to Figure 13 .
IMPORTANT: For best performance provide an individ-
ual exhaust duct for each tumble dryer. Do not install a
gas water heater in a room containing tumble dryers. It
is better to have the water heater in a separate room
with a separate air inlet.

NOTE: Proper venting will ensure that any condensate
is subsequently re-evaporated and discharged.
